Qurbani / Udhiyah for Gaza
Give your Qurbani in Gaza and place fresh, nourishing meat on the tables of families in need.
Qurbani, also known as Udhiyah, is the sacrifice offered during the days of Eid al-Adha in remembrance of the Prophet Ibrahim's devotion. The meat is shared, with a portion given to the poor and needy — an act of worship expressed through generosity.
By giving your Qurbani to Gaza through Fight for Palestine, your sacrifice reaches families for whom fresh meat is now a rare luxury. In communities enduring severe food shortages, a Qurbani distribution is a moment of genuine celebration and relief.
This page explains Qurbani, when it is due and how we carry it out on your behalf. It is general guidance to help you fulfil this act with confidence, not a religious ruling — please consult a qualified scholar for your specific circumstances.
What is Qurbani?
Qurbani is the sacrifice of a permitted animal — such as a sheep, goat, cow or camel — during the days of Eid al-Adha, following the sunnah of the Prophet Ibrahim. It is offered by those who are able, as an act of devotion and thankfulness.
Traditionally the meat is divided into three: a portion for one's own household, a portion for relatives and friends, and a portion for the poor. When you give Qurbani to Gaza, your share for the needy is delivered where it is needed most.
When is Qurbani given?
Qurbani is performed during the days of Eid al-Adha, on the 10th, 11th and 12th of Dhul-Hijjah. To ensure your sacrifice is carried out within these days, we ask supporters to arrange their Qurbani in advance so our teams can plan the slaughter and distribution correctly.
- Performed on the days of Eid al-Adha (10th–12th Dhul-Hijjah)
- One share is typically a sheep or goat, or a share in a larger animal
- Meat is distributed fresh to families in need
- Arrange early so distribution falls within the valid days
How we deliver your Qurbani in Gaza
Our teams source healthy animals that meet the conditions for Qurbani, carry out the sacrifice within the days of Eid, and distribute the fresh meat to families facing severe food insecurity — prioritising displaced households, orphans, widows and the elderly.
For many families, this is the only fresh meat they will receive. Your Qurbani turns an act of worship into a nourishing, dignified meal at a time of celebration.
A note on religious guidance
We consult knowledgeable scholars to ensure our Qurbani is carried out correctly — from the condition of the animals to the timing of the sacrifice. Still, the information here is general guidance rather than a fatwa. For rulings specific to your situation or school of thought, please consult a qualified scholar.
